Each year, the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board Student Recognition Awards celebrate excellence in student leadership. Students are chosen by their principals and vice-principals for their demonstration of initiative, supported by the will to succeed, the dedication to finish what they started, and the commitment to achieve their personal best.
Congratulations to this year’s winner from Ottawa Technical Secondary School: Wolfgang K.!
Wolfgang is a leader in many significant ways at Ottawa Technical Secondary School. He is an active member of Students’ Council, has created clubs to support other students, and is an articulate advocate for all students. Wolfgang’s exceptional leadership is demonstrated in Communications Technology through his dedication to supporting his classmates and helping them become leaders in their own right. He shows kindness and patience in his interactions with peers, makes sure that everyone is included, and meets them where they are at. Wolfgang’s accomplishments include leading District film projects resulting in professional screenings that have elevated the confidence and pride of his peers. He has shown exceptional growth in understanding how to set realistic goals and hold himself accountable to those goals. He is a consistent and reliable student who takes his work very seriously, while still maintaining a great sense of humour. Wolfgang welcomes criticism and is always looking for opportunities to learn and grow. He knows that leadership is a process and not a result, and the way he has embraced this process has been an inspiration to both staff and students.
